Knowledge

Knowledge without practice is like a glass eye, all for show, and nothing for use.

Knowledge Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Knowledge

1.
Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.
Samuel Johnson

2.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles with it.
Churchill, Winston

3.
The hunger and thirst for knowledge, the keen delight in the chase, the good humored willingness to admit that the scent was false, the eager desire to get on with the work, the cheerful resolution to go back and begin again, the broad good sense, the unaffected modesty, the imperturbable temper, the gratitude for any little help that was given -- all these will remain in my memory though I cannot paint them for others.
Maitland, Frederic William

4.
I know myself, but that is all.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

5.
It is part of our pedagogy to teach the operations of thinking, feeling, and willing so that they may be made conscious. For if we do not know the difference between an emotion and a thought, we will know very little. We need to understand the components (of emotions) at work... in order to free their hold.
Richards, Mary Caroline

6.
You have to know what's important and what's unimportant, for you.
Fink, David Harold

7.
Know-how will surpass guess-how.

8.
It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.
Bernard, Claude

9.
You can always draw as well as you know how to. I flatter myself that I feel more than I express on canvas; but I know that is not so.
Hunt, William Morris

10.
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Degas, Edgar

11.
Knowledge is like money: the more he gets, the more he craves.
Billings, Josh

12.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. [King Solomon]
Bible

13.
All men by nature desire knowledge.
Aristotle

14.
The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.
Milton, John

15.
Without knowledge, life is not more than the shadow of death.
Moliere

16.
Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.
Epictetus

17.
To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
Getty, J. Paul

18.
Knowledge is only potential power.
Hill, Napoleon

19.
Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession -- a property entirely our own.
Smiles, Samuel

20.
He who knows others is clever; He who knows himself has discernment.
Lao-Tzu

21.
He who seeks to approach his own buried past must conduct himself like a man digging. He must not be afraid to return again and again to the same matter; to scatter it as one scatters earth, to turn it over as one turns over soil. For the matter itself is only a deposit, a stratum, which yields only to the most meticulous examination what constitutes the real treasure hidden within the earth: the images, severed from all earlier associations, that stand --like precious fragments or torsos in a collector's gallery --in the prosaic rooms of our later understanding.
Benjamin, Walter

22.
The trouble with most folks ain't so much their ignorance as knowing so many things that ain't so.
Billings, Josh

23.
There is no knowledge, no light, no wisdom that you are in possession of, but what you have received it from some source.
Young, Brigham

24.
A superficial knowledge is not enough. It must be a knowledge capable of analyzing a situation quickly and making an immediate decision.
Robert, Cavett

25.
Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long-wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
Eliot, George

26.
Knowledge is the most democratic source of power.
Toffler, Alvin

27.
Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt.
Van Horne, William

28.
Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.
Fuller, Thomas

29.
The knowledge of God is far from the love of Him.
Miller, Keith

30.
Man is distinguished, not only by his reason; but also by this singular passion from other animals... which is a lust of the mind, that by a perseverance of delight in the continual and indefatigable generation of knowledge, exceeds the short vehemence of any carnal pleasure.
Hobbes, Thomas

31.
True scholarship consists in knowing not what things exist, but what they mean; it is not memory but judgment.
Lowell, James Russell

32.
Proclaim not all thou knowest, all thou knowest, all thou hast, nor all thou cans't.
Franklin, Benjamin

33.
Self knowers always dwell in El Dorado; they drink from the fountain of youth, and at all times owners of all they wish to enjoy.
Bristol, Claude M.

34.
True knowledge lies in knowing how to live.
Gracian, Baltasar

35.
Once thoroughly our own knowledge ceases to give us pleasure.
Ruskin, John

36.
The self-explorer, whether he wants to or not, becomes the explorer of everything else. He learns to see himself, but suddenly, provided he was honest, all the rest appears, and it is as rich as he was, and, as a final crowning, richer.
Canetti, Elias

37.
Knowledge and human power are synonymous.
Bacon, Francis

38.
Knowledge is power, if you know it about the right person
Mumford, Ethel Watts

39.
Knowledge is that which, next to virtue, truly raises one person above another.
Addison, Joseph

40.
Knowledge and timber shouldn't be much used till they are seasoned.
Oliver Wendell Holmes

41.
Vague and mysterious forms of speech, and abuse of language, have so long passed for mysteries of science; and hard or misapplied words with little or no meaning have, by prescription, such a right to be mistaken for deep learning and height of speculation, that it will not be easy to persuade either those who speak or those who hear them, that they are but the covers of ignorance and hindrance of true knowledge.
Locke, John

42.
Knowledge which is divorced from justice, may be called cunning rather than wisdom.
Cicero, Marcus T.

43.
Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death. But with common sense, it is wisdom with method, it is power; with clarity, it is beneficence; with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.
Farrar, Austin

44.
It seems to me that man is made to act rather than to know: the principles of things escape our most persevering researches.
Frederick The Great, (Frederick II)

45.
I have tried to know absolutely nothing about a great many things, and I have succeeded fairly well.
Benchley, Robert

46.
Knowledge is the small part of ignorance that we arrange and classify.
Bierce, Ambrose

47.
It is impossible to begin to learn that which one thinks one already knows.
Epictetus

48.
We are in fact convinced that if we are ever to have pure knowledge of anything, we must get rid of the body and contemplate things by themselves with the soul by itself. It seems, to judge from the argument, that the wisdom which we desire and upon which we profess to have set our hearts will be attainable only when we are dead and not in our lifetime.
Socrates

49.
To me the charm of an encyclopedia is that it knows and I needn't.
Brown, Francis Yeats

50.
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can -- namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
Teresa of Avila, St.
